My eye doctor recommended lubricant eye gel, the tube he gave me works like eye drops from a tube instead of a bottle, is the ointment the same thing?

I have used gel and ointment: some are thicker than others, depending on brand. Genteal for severe dry eyes works best for me, but it is thick enough that I have to blink several times to clear my eyes. Try several kinds to find what works for you.

No, ointment is much thicker than gel. Use it during sleep when you don't have to see, as vision is blurry much of the night. It has solved my problem from an eye injury. Useful ocassionally now. Judith S.

No, the ointment is not the same thing. Ointment is much heavier and somewhat greasy like Vaseline or Aquaphor. It can also cause your vision to blur for a while. Genteal makes gel eye drops in a tube. I don't think Systane does. I hope I helped with your question.

Eye gel is more concentrated in content, should be more effective than eye drops. My mom who is 76 is using the eye gel recommended by doctor too

It sounds like what he gave you was the "Overnight Therapy" (http://smile.amazon.com/Systane-Gel-10-0-33-Ounce/dp/B00CBXQ1XO/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid;=1407193168&sr;=1-1&keywords;=systane+overnight+therapy+lubricant+eye+gel) I personally like the Overnight Therapy MUCH more than "Nighttime". Nighttime's only active ingredients are mineral oil and "white petrolatum" which sounds a lot like (very expensive) petroleum jelly, and that's exactly what it looks and feels like. My eyes burn in the morning after I use it. Overnight Therapy has totally different ingredients and works much better for me.

Ointment is much heavier than drops. Drops are never in a tube, the ointment is always in a smalltube and usually used for nighttime.

No, the ointment is not liquid...it's definitely an ointment that squeezes out of the tube. It's very effective, but not particularly pleasant because it tends to coat your eye and make your vision blur. Definitely something to put in before going to sleep instead of other times during the day.

Yes, the drops a sterile petroleum salve and they keep your eyes from drying out overnight. Yes, you need to use the daytime products as usual. I had a real bad problem with dry eyes after surgery. I went to an ophthalmologist who put "tear drain plugs" or also called Punctal Plugs. It took about a year for my eyes to get normal. Sorry to have to tell you that! Ask the ophthalmologist office if they do it before going if you decide to. Not all of them know how to do the procedure. It is painless and only takes 1-2 minutes. I truly believe I would still be suffering today if I hasn't gotten the tear drain plugs plus using drops. Yes, the drops a sterile petroleum salve and they keep your eyes from drying out overnight.

It is exactly the same application as Muro 128 as far as being used at night for Dry Eye Syndrome. We are not absolutely sure, it felt like there might be a very little higher salt content? I don't have the tubes here right now to compare the numbers. The eye doctor prescribed them straight across. My wife used it with good results.

If you read the information leaflet included in the box it is written. You will notice where the comparison is for the different Systane (Family of products), that under the Systane Balance it says "Systane Balance Lubricant Eye Drops is a white milky emulsion designed specifically to rebuild your natural tear film and relieve dry symptoms associated with a disrupted lipid layer". So don't worry it's not spoiled, this particular product is suppose to be milky. :)

Hi John, my suggestion would be to go to any hardware store and buy a tube of lubricant. It is specially made for different types of metals and it looks like vaseline. Sometimes it is tinted blue. Depending on what size of tube you get, it will probably run you anywhere from 5-10 bucks. Thank you for choosing Goedekers. If you have any questions please cal 1-888-768-1710.

NAC and some lubricants such as glycerin and some preservatives such as boric acid (none of them really toxic or irritating). I found these drops gentle for the eyes and effective in controlling dryness for longer than most of the other options. I never contacted the manufactures and for that reason my review refers to the product only.

No. It is face cream, I think they make a separate eye cream. Check their website.

Per Eye Envy bottle: no antibiotics other & no harsh chemicals, but you may want to contact the company for more info. I would NEVER use Angel Eyes.

This is not a cream it is a serum. It goes in deeper. On one's eye one should put the substance on the bone area down to the crevice as it will spread enough from there to the rest of the eye lid without getting in one's eyes.

I had the same question when I was ordering because there wasn't much info about the difference on Amazon. You might find details on the Nordic Naturals site.I wound up ordering Omega Vision and replenish when I run out. It has made a difference in my eyes as well as my joints. Other brands can make the joints ache in the morning. This brand does not and is actually soothing for eyestrain and overall comfort.

I drop lubricant is simply a daily comfort maintenance drop whereas the cyclosporin is prescribed to attempt to help get the eye to produce tears again - at least that is what I gleaned from the Eye specialists to whom I took my corgi. She has severe chronic dry eye. We tried cyclosporin and then replaced it with another drug which also did not work. She cannot produce any tears, so the I-Drops product plus other lubricant drops help make her comfortable.

yes it does...silver sulfate, thanks for asking...guess one can't always trust homeopathic products either...I bought it because I had Lasik eye surgery over 10 years ago and it helped lubricate my morning dry eyes...this was done on a daily bases the first couple of years, tapering off and now using it only on occasion...now that you have called my attention on the preservative...I will look into buying another kine....if you find one w/o preservatives please let me know..Mahalo nui loahttp://www.1-800homeopathy.com/dry-eye.html

The mgd is oil based. & the other is not is how they explained it to me. the mgd REALLY helped me. SO much better than anything else I have tried for my dry eyes.

I noticed that the first or second times it comes out in a long 'drip' like you describe but after that it comes out like a thick blob. I use 2-3 drops in each eye at night. Just hold the tube over your eye and squeeze gently.

It is ointment. We ordered this when our usual brand was recalled because it was crystallizing which was causing eye irritation. This stuff was good.

The MGD is for people with MGD problems, which is where the tear evaporates too quickly due to not having enough oil in your tears. The CMC doesn't contain the oil as the MGD does. If you've tried standard eye drops for 'dry eyes' and they don't work, I would try the MGD.

It's a very light gel.....slightly milky but mostly clear. It's a great product for around your eyes a little goes along way. And like most eye products you would not want to get in your eyes this one does contain HyaluronicAcid which is why it probably works.After two weeks of use, a couple of my co-worker complimented me on how my skin looked and my eyes looked younger. All I can say is I see a difference.
